Since some of the lines begin with capital letters, we must assume those are the beginnings of sentences. Hence the pseudo-sentence: “Sweats out their pores when the thermostat rises.” I have tried all means of avoiding agreement with zodiac, and though he worded it clumsily, high temperature causes sweat; a thermostat setting may or may not, and does so only indirectly.

seems a bit distant. i like the form and flow, but i don't get any depth of feel for the object of the poem. it might help to expound upon some of her physical features.

in most non-tropical households the thermostat has a timer. during the cold months most people set it low for night when people are in their beds and back high for the morning. that's when i meant. anyhow, that would be a non-grammatical error, so i don't think it's what the original comment meant.

For one thing, don't you mean the temperature or the thermometer rises? The thermostat is that thing you turn up to turn on the furnace, right?

Oh well. In any case, I'm not your son, so please do not refer to me as such. :)

"Everyone mentions the weather, sweats out their pores when the thermostat rises." what's wrong about it?

Line 2 seems grammically wrong, otherwise great.

A greeting card kind of poem. It seems too oversaid to be impressive.

An excellently caring poem, certainly. And by the way, dong is perfectly OK; and the correct spelling of schlong is schlong.

Good grief, Mac - I looked up to see a gathering of 5 users online...4 of which are you! New record, methinks. How's Colorado?

"there's chaste to be chased 'neath the myrtle 'til dawn" -- http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=144546 suggests you haven't been doing too much to discourage this kind of behaviour, ecargo :-p This reminds me of something, and I can't for the life of me think what...

Sensational. Even better than the gerbil one. By the way, it's spelt shlong, not dong.
